Check-In Post - Feb 15th 2026
Feb. 15th, 2026 07:42 pmHello to all members, passers-by, curious onlookers, and shy lurkers, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.
Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?
There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.
This Week's Question: What is your favourite thing to make?
If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.
I now declare this Check-In OPEN!
Saying "weekly proof of life" feels...unsettling?...given my post yesterday, but. :(
Feb. 15th, 2026 03:02 pmMovie update: turns out we are getting Z1L's new movie next week, which is awesome, but I'm not at all sure we're actually going to make it, given its showtimes and the fact that we aren't entertaining the notion of evening screenings. Alas. (That said, while I would very much like to see it, it doesn't actually look at all like a movie I would see if it weren't for Z1L, so I'm a bit sad, but not crushed.)
Reading: A few more volumes each of The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service and Hikaru no Go (I'm six volumes in on both), and I've started reading Stephanie Burgis' Wooing the Witch Queen.
Most of my reading time this week went to Epic Tomatoes: How to Select and Grow the Best Varieties of All Time (Craig Lehoullier), which I liked so much after reading the bought-on-sale ebook that I've ordered a hard copy. My intermittent low-key obsession with (the idea of) growing tomatoes continues to be mostly just weird, but as far as I can tell this book is a treasure. All other growing-tomatoes books can sit down.
Watching: As of this afternoon, we're caught up on The Pitt and still an ep. or two behind on Frieren.
We have two episodes of Midnight Mass to go, and may finish that tonight. It is pulling absolutely zero punches and is very upsetting (although no animal harm/death that I can think of since I mentioned the amount in the first couple of episodes?) and very well done. Wow. It is a LOT.
Working: Some potential (probable) impending stress about Dayjob is not doing wonders for my focus or mental health in general. (Nothing to do with Manager or coworders.) Good thoughts very welcome.
Tomorrow is a stat holiday, and then we have a week until the seasonal crunch begins. Whee! I have almost three weeks before my next freelance deadline, but it would sure be nice to get a draft on this rewrite before the crunch. I think I'm about a quarter of the way there.

Feb. 15th, 2026 07:49 amMostly ok time except police harassment. Saw more than 20 police cars, because there are people being paid to make sure that a heart surgery recipient feels unsafe, and likely, they are actually threatening me. I have been to jail twice now, so the chances a third time happens are how likely? I am the only person involved in these situations likely that has been in a heart surgery operating room: what does this mean for you? Not only do you not have a soul, but your own future doesn't look great, because there are people being paid to torture you when things are going worse for you than everyone else. A big hope you have a horrible day from this individual that is not being given enough space for myself, which makes me feel like I am not a good person to be around: but there is not a sick person on the planet that belongs in a jail cell.

midterm elections
Feb. 15th, 2026 11:46 amI'm not even from or in the US, and don't usually post about the politics there, but I thought I should share this post by my flister

It's necessary to plan ahead to have the necessary momentum by the end of the year. Here's the full post:
Indivisible's 2026 Strategy Arc: Toward Enforcing the Midterm Elections
"If it seems as though Trump plans to steal the midterm elections, you’re right. If it seems as though there’s no way to stop him, you’re wrong. But if you think the institutions we already have are up to the job of stopping him, you’re also wrong.
I’ve been attending Indivisible’s weekly “What’s the Plan?” meetings with co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin for almost a year now. Indivisible’s strategy for the whole year is built around the midterm elections."

Feb. 15th, 2026 02:16 amI just found out that one of my friends passed away. She hasn't done her daily update since the 2nd. I thought maybe her mom was worse. She passed away unexpectedly on the 2nd of February. She was also the mod of one of the communities that I write in. She was always there for everyone. She will be missed. And Small Fandom Bang will never be the same again. If you could say a little prayer for her family, she would appreciate that. Thank you.
💤 Dream Check-in
Feb. 15th, 2026 02:24 amI tried out this dream logging app but the recording and typing features both didn't work right so I gave up. Decided to use the good old voice memo app that comes on the phone and fully type the dreams up later. Oh and I noticed it has a transcribe feature now, not that I think it will catch my half-asleep mumbling lol
Oh yeah, and there's an app I used in the past that I think is great called dreamcatcher (I have it iPhone, not sure if it's on Android). It gives you daily tasks to train your skills up. It teaches you how to do reality checks and lucid dream methods as well as the basics of keeping a dream journal and recalling dreams.

Me, mom and dad were staying at a hotel while vacationing. Somehow we got split up into separate rooms, I remember that I was avoiding someone and maybe I was mad at mom, so that may be connected. I took an elevator around this time.
I was in my room and suddenly people started coming in. I asked who they were, they said this was their room and I responded that I didn't know it was a shared room.
Next thing I knew, their things were all over the counter and a woman was frying what looked like chicken thighs in a pan on the stove. One of the things someone brought in was pop. They were discussing who would take the two beds in the room.
We were all sitting in front of a TV watching some sports thing I think, and a boy of about 7-8 who was beside me was getting upset and I somehow knew it was because he was overwhelmed and I understood because I was upset too, so I held him with his head on my chest and reassured him that his vacation would be great, the stress of the hotel would mean little in comparison afterword. Then it was like we were in the sports stadium ourself and a Spanish song was playing, a man behind us was singing beautifully along with it and we listened in awe (I think I know what song it was but I can't remember the title 😩). His mother(?) held both of us and I uncomfortably tried to free myself, managing after a bit of a struggle. I walked away and the boy asked where I was going, but he had cheered up so he wasn't too upset and let me go.
I walked across the hall to my mom's room. Going inside, right away I noticed there were two elderly people just calmly sitting there watching TV, no stuff everywhere. My mom and my and sister were sitting on the couch. I was getting really upset and wanted to sit by her but couldn't talk, but they got the picture and my sister moved. I sat beside mom and put my head in her lap and sobbed while she comforted me. My mom made a comment about us being twins and my sister was like 'see, I don't think we are' (she's right we aren't).
We were at a store I assume and I was looking at jewelry and at one point pink hair dye. I bought multiple rings and I remember later looking at them and wondering why I chose them.
Mom is upset because she spent over $400 and only had $600 in the bank. I said I would pay for half.

2026 not quite 365 days questions meme February
Feb. 15th, 2026 12:28 am15. Have you ever considered how you would leave your home in an emergency?
I’m not quite certain what this means. Like if my house was on fire, I would grab hubby and Dakota and we would get out quickly. We wouldn’t have our car keys or our wallets. We would be stuck here outside the house until family could pick us up. This started me thinking about what we would do. This could be a lot of different reasons to leave. I know this isn’t a very good answer. But it’s all I’ve got today. 😁🌹🌹

2026 60 questions meme.
Feb. 14th, 2026 11:45 pmWhat are three specific goals you’d like to accomplish this year, and how can you break them down into manageable steps?
1. I’m trying to save money for a trip at the beginning of 2027. We’d like to go to Hawaii and it’s so expensive. It’s a cruise that will have five different ports of call. We get to pick out the best excursions. My brother and his husband are. Going to go with us. It’ll be fun for all four of us. Now we just have to start saving.
2. My daughter, Chris and I are planning a five day trip to Albuquerque to Santa Fe, NM. It’s my brother Dan’s favorite place to hang out. I haven’t seen him in almost a year. It’s time for a visit. We are planning for August. It’ll be so nice for the two of us to see family. There are three that live in Albuquerque. That’s the second goal.
3. I’m helping a friend out with her mother. They’re both my friends. Vicki is 65. Her mom is 89. Beverly’s got beginning dementia. Anyhow, Vickie still works 4 days a week. Beverly doesn’t get around as well as we wish she did. Neither of them can really afford someone to be with her four days a week. So, Vicki has asked me if I can do it. I’m not thrilled. I’m 74 years old and not in the best health. This is going to be hard for me and Beverly. We’re both old and cantankerous. Now, my goal is to try and do it two days a week instead of four. I’m hoping my body can take it. My hubby is a little upset because I’m not in the best of health and he’s worried about me. I’m going to have my hands full, between Vicki and my hubby. Those are my three goals for this year.
